Eleven weeks already

Ok-we're back. Sorry it took awhile for another post. Both Danny and I have been really really busy with our jobs and my energy is just shot in the evening (can't wait for that wonderful 2nd trimester burst of energy I keep hearing about...) Anyway, yesterday was my 31st b/day, and today I had the most wonderful b/day gift of all...hearing the heartbeat of my tiny little one. And wow, was it beating away. I'll be getting another ultrasound next week, and the doc said they may be able to give me an 80% determination of the sex. I can't wait. My appt. today did go well, except the doc wasn't very pleased that I haven't gained any weight yet. I tried to tell her I'm working on gaining the 10 pounds back that I had lost during all that morning sickness...it happens....Good news is I am gaining some of my appetite back, and I'm not having near as much nausea. Yeah!
My baby is just over 2 inches long now and weighs about a 3rd of an ounce. His/her body is straightening out and the torso is lengthening. Hair follicles are forming and fingernail/toenail beds are developing (nails will grow in next few weeks). If it's a girl, ovaries are already developing...so exciting!!
